According to Leone et al.‚ (2016)‚ hour rounding or purposeful rounding have a positive effect on decreasing fall rate. It allows for a patient to receive assistant with the 4Ps: pain‚ position‚ potty‚ and placement of personal items‚ meeting these needs will prevent the patient from getting out of bed without assistance to try and

DISCUSSION The present study was undertaken to estimate the specificity‚ sensitivity and predictive validity of measurements obtained with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) for evaluation of preterm high risk infants. The present study included two scales i.e. the Alberta infant motor scale and the Peabody developmental motor scale – 2 (PDMS – 2) on high risk infants at 3 months‚ 6 months and 12 months of age. For the purpose of comparing the AIMS scale‚ the PDMS -2 scale was used as the gold

In comparing the use of information technology versus random patrol‚ I see it this way. Initially‚ the random patrol was implemented in an effort to deter crime. If an officer is able to make their rounds in an unpredictable pattern‚ the threat of crime should be reduced. COMPSTAT is a tool available to the officer to give direction (or emphasis) to their patrol. Assimilating available intelligence is labor-intensive and time-consuming. With the advent of COMPSTAT‚ the officer now has timely

Uniformed police officers would patrol the streets to prevent crimes that were in progress and to catch criminals. However‚ researches since the 1960s has shown the limits of both patrolling and investigating for reducing crimes. This method did not show any effectiveness on crime preventions and reducing criminal activities. Police patrolling still

Law professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson notes in his article “Predictive Policing And Reasonable Suspicion‚” that law enforcement must acquire either “probable cause” to search or “reasonable suspicion” to seize an individual. He argues‚ “Because predictive policing does not provide personal knowledge about an ongoing crime‚ or particularized identification of the suspect involved‚ it cannot support the weight
